I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from the University of Montana - Western. I was a first grade teacher in Idaho and Nevada for 12 years combined. I have been an online ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher since July of 2017. I have experience teaching all elementary subjects, but I love teaching kids to read the most. It's exciting to see them transform from emergent to independent readers! I like to start with understanding what a child does and does not know in a particular subject. Then I can prepare lessons unique to each child's needs and learning level. I look forward to helping your child meet his/her goals!
